Our Story

blind summit

We are an independent whisky company specialising in unique one-off bottlings of single cask whiskies from distilleries across Scotland. We also make our own single cask blended malts. Each release features an original image created in collaboration with a local artist.

We take a very hands-on approach to whiskymaking; we taste, source, re-rack, bottle and deliver ourselves. This takes time as there are just two of us, but it’s a rewarding way to stay connected to the whiskies and the people.

THE PROCESS

We source individual casks of whisky, then release when ready or further mature in another cask to add more layers of flavour. The cask selection draws on our 34+ years of collective whisky and wine knowledge.

The labels are all by local artists and designers. We love working with talented friends and designers to create an original image for each release. We start with a photograph that tells a story of a place we love in Scotland. From there the artist interprets that photo into their original design, with a different version appearing on each whisky expression.

Supporting local and small has always been a shared priority for us, which is why we strive to collaborate with people and businesses in our local Leith community.

Meet the Team
